I put a set of these on the front of my car last year just do me over until it got warmer and probably 10k or so into the tires I noticed I had a noise on the left side and it sounds like a bearing and I checked all my bearing and I had no play in the bearing so I decided to change the tires up and it went a way. So That may be the case for you.

Interesting comment that the DWS stay quiet through their service life. I've heard many others on this site complain that they get loud after about 15k. Have you had a better experience? I'm currently considering Michelin PS A/S Plus, Michelin Primacy MXM4, Bridgestone RE970AS Pole Positions, and the Conti DWS. MXM4 may not be available in the right sizes so the DWS is currently at the top of my list, but I'm REALLY worried about the noise based on what others have said here.

Well I imagine all tires will increase their noise levels towards the end of their lives, but I haven't driven on a set of DWSes long enough to know how they compare to other tires yet. My sister has them on her Civic, but they just got put on maybe four months ago or so. What I do know though is that they were very quiet as is!
